Hello
Today I've a Bubbly Funk project to share with you
A few weeks ago, I posted a paper rose tutorial and it got
me thinking about all those lovely 'flat' mulberry paper petals you can
get. I have a load of lovely ones from Bubbly Funk, they come in packs
of the same shape, colour and size and I was interested in finding out
whether I could use the technique as in the tutorial to make some
mulberry roses with them.
It turns out it works just fine, though I did need to use an extra set of petals to get a nice 'full' rose
.I chose petals in brown, cream and a lovely bluey-turquoise colour to
make the roses. As mentioned I used an extra flower shape to fill out
the rose - to do this I separated the flowers into single petals and
trimmed off the inner point from each. Next I just dipped the now
straight end into some glue and tucked them into the rose wherever they
seemed to be needed to make a good, full shape.

From my stash; Kraft Card blank, Pearls,
The die cut sentiment is by Spellbinders and comes from
the May Die of the Month set
Why
not have ago at making some flowers yourself - I bet you've got loads
of flat paper petals to practise with, and if you don't, well Bubbly Funk can help you there!
Happy Crafting

Gorgeous card, love the kraft with the blue sentiment and beautiful roses. I have dozens of flowers collected over the years but tend to go for die cutting now. Thank you for the tutorial link I will be having a go.
